This whole thing surely freaked the hell out of me, the beggining was by far the worst part. I pulled my jacket over my head and ran into the corner of the room and starting breathing heavily. It was the scariest thing I ever saw. Then again I was on drugs when I saw this, and it didn't help that my friend told me it was real.
I would strongly recommend never watching this on drugs, especially shrooms.
LOL I did the same thing to my buddy.
Told him it was "real alien footage" just like my hubby fooled me the first time like that. I feel your pain! (lmao)
Wow...I'd like to stress that watching anything from Chris Cunningham while high is a very bad idea. My first encounter with anything by him was Windowlicker on random videoflow stoned out of my mind. I thought it was hilarious, then I saw that chick at the end and started freaking out big time.

Christ, this thing freaked the hell out of me! At first I thought it was real (I also saw it on ebuamsworld) but then realised it must be an Aphex Twin video, judging by his unmistakable style. Still can't watch it though, I guess I'm just a pussy.
fireandice89, I know what you mean about the Windowlicker video. That girl is well rank. I remember if that video gets played juring the day on MTV, they edit that bit out.

Yeah, this video scared the crap outta me when I first saw it. It's not as bad once it turns into a music video kinda deal though.
shareShafty IS a pussy...

Yeah, I know I am. Thanx! Being a girl, I also have one too! lol

I actually thought it was very amusing, the only kinda disturbing part is the beginning, with the moaning and stuff... but after that, it's actually pretty enjoyable and funny!
shareit scared me too. I started screaming and i ran, eyes closed, to turn on all the lights in the house. I was alone and it was 3 a.m which had to contribute to my reation but still that sh*t was scary!
"Cozy isn't it?"
"It's a broom cupboard"
"Then you should feel right at home, shouldn't you"
Dudes! Your all pussys!
Whats so scary about Johnny!
I heard his mutilated "Mamas!" and i kept my sh*t!
What chick ?
shareYou must be a russian
But, yeah...it wasn't until the alien-looking guy started dancing to tunes that I realised it wasn't a footage from area 51

I realize this thread is ancient history, but I'll leave this here for posterity anyway.
The Goddess Bunny isn't anorexic, and he's not creepy (unless you're homophobic). He's just a courageous, resilient gay dude named Johnnie Baima who had polio as a kid. That's why he's so crippled up.
There's a documentary about him on YouTube, in eleven parts. Part 1 is here:

The rest is easy to find from there.
I'm afraid I wasn't granted the privilage of being freaked out by this. Probably cause I knew the tricks that play on the human mind before hand, rather interesting stuff. Once you see individual parts the sum isn't really scary at all, It's techniques have been long used in horror film making. Here's what I think made this film scary for most.
The video quality at the beginning is hideously gainy and poor, It's more of what's not revealed then what is, lends even more to the unknown which is the ultimate fear in man. As well as lacking detail on the face, it makes the face look even more contorted and inhuman the way his mouth is moved.
The video has a very documentarish feel to it, documentaries give off the impression of realism, and real things are what scare people.
The sound is very amateurish, hearing backround clatter and sounds, having a very unfiltered track. Though the mutant's voice is easy to tell it's simply sped up and superimposed on the track.As well as having a very babyish way of talking, As well as the odd animal like sounds when it finally has a tantrum. Again a play on our senses.
The night-vision has an interesting quality to it, The it makes the retinas reflect the light back and thus seems to make the eyes seemingly blank as well as having a flourescant quality to them.
The right amount of human resemblence is there. We see someone with a generally human face, but with a huge cranium. If it looked totally alien it wouldn't look nearly as scary, I'm sure most of us have seen Alien, Predator, and the like. Yet this wasn't as scary to them, cause the appearance was very unhuman like. However someone deformed this severely scares us for the reason that we're a memeber of the same species and imagining ourselves in his place.
The camera angles also play a part of this, often used in horror films. Close ups, oddly paced cuts gives the sense of disorientation which in turn invokes fear as well. Especially when the mutant seems to freak out and turn rather violent.
With today's technology, filming an alien wouldn't be done in night-vision nor would the video image be that poor in quality. especially appearing on sites like Ebaum's world and the like, authenticity not being their strong points. But the film does a good job playing on the senses as well as film making techniques to scare it's audience. much like magic tricks, It's a all a question of misdirection and playing with the senses.

Johnny should be a character in Twisted Metal or something. That would rule. FYI, Twisted Metal's that game where you ride around in cars blasting people with missiles. You can play as a clown with a flaming head.
